After years of success, Anna chose to pause. She gave herself completely to her daughter, and old goals vanished. She felt lost. At that time, she earned a bachelor's degree in psychology. It became her compass to her true self and the living world. Behind all the beautiful facades she used to paint, she discovered a shared human core. She stepped onto a new level — shifting from the outer to the inner, from shells to life. Because there is no room for a living person in shells. Her artworks today are spaces for real moments, for doubts, struggles, and deep emotions — for those who feel this world, who feel themselves, who choose existence over illusion.

That is how her new project was born — 100 Notes to Myself, a collection that is developed thought the whole year. A collection of one hundred paintings, each built around a memory, a feeling, a thought, a small moment worth keeping close. Some pieces are deeply personal, almost like diary entries. Others are inspired by the simple, universal things that make life meaningful: love, growing, changing, slowing down, and finding our way back to ourselves.

Her visual language is rooted in texture. She works with bold, expressive strokes, using palette knives to build layers of paint into the canvas. The result is not a smooth surface, but a living one — ridges, shadows, depth that catches the light. Her landscapes feel tactile, as if you could reach out and touch the sky. In this new collection, words become part of the texture. Hand-painted phrases sit within the strokes, as thoughts embedded in the image. 

Today, Anna builds her career independently, outside traditional gallery structures, guided by demand and by her own heart. Her work resonates because it transforms personal experience into something timeless: a textured stroke, a hidden message, a quiet invitation to exhale.

She often says: "An artist's work is a map of their life." This is hers so far — unforgettable views, and the people you want to share them with. And when someone stands in front of her painting and feels something real — that is why she paints.
